When things are hard or impossible, it helps to think about the things you are thankful for.

So they say.

Sure, there are many things I am thankful for. My kids are healthy, I have a great husband and family and friends, I live in a country where I have access to health care and freedom from oppression and war.

But…

There are many things I want to be thankful for that haven’t happened yet. I imagine a future, a place where I am thankful for much much more. Perhaps I am being greedy. Or, maybe it’s just being optimistic.

Lovely post. I don’t know that you’ll ever get your wish about fat free cheese (And really, when you think about it, do you really want that, or just want to be able to eat regular delicious cheese without gaining cottage cheese on your body?) but I know some of those you will make happen for yourself. It’s good to be thankful but it’s also good to have goals too 🙂
